Granted, there are 28 hours in a day, but since there has always been 28 hours in a day, people constantly wish for more hours than that, and then there have always been 32 hours in a day, then there has always been 36 hours in a day, and so on and so forth. The Earth begins to slow its rotation so much that apocalyptic disasters begin happening.

Granted, but your altitude must stay the same forever, any attempt to go up or down via anything will result in immediate deathExamples: going up or down stairs, using an elevator, using an airplane, having a car move you slightly up a hill...
